FORMULA
Empirical (for n>=4): a(n) = 12*n^4 - 36*n^3 - 85*n^2 + 324*n - 188. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 30 2012
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 23 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x^3*(32 + 356*x + 47*x^2 - 223*x^3 + 89*x^4 - 13*x^5) / (1 - x)^5.
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>8.
